Network attached printer makes ReadyNas Duo unreachable
I've got a strange and annoying problem with my NAS and my network attached HP printer.
Setup:
1 Readynas Duo (radiator 4.1.7) [cable] static ip, CIFS, ReadyDLNA, UPnP
1 HP Photosmart Premium C309g [wireless] static ip
1 PC windows vista [cable] static ip
1 PC windows 7 [wireless] static ip
1 PC Ubuntu (router)
1 Netgear AccessPoint
Problem:
When i turn the Photosmart printer on or off, the Readynas will get unreachable. Raidar cant find it, I cant ping it. It's just not there. After i restart the NAS it works great again until the printer is truned off. I have tried two different Photosmart printers with the same result. I have a support ticket with HP about this, but at the moment they have no clue.
I hope someone here can help me.

- Hi
I have a HP photosmart plus b210, with a readynas duo on my network. I have a very similar problem to the one you describe, did you resolve the issue ?
Actualy, my problem is that the readynas will not be visable/pingable or allow access through frontview while the printer is in the network. I have set all up with static ip's to avoid conflicts.
If you turn off the printer ( leave it off ) , then turn the readynas off/on .....the readynas is back, until I turn the printer on !
Any help appreciated.
Thanks :D - I have the same issue. Just bought an HP Photosmart Premium AiO C310 (CN503B) :
- FritzBox 7170 DSL router & internet gateway
- HP Photosmart Premium C310B, WiFi, ip through dhcp
- ReadyNAS Duo with Radiator 4.1.8, static ip, CIFS, ReadyDLNA, UPnP
- 2 Windows Vista PC's in the network, IP through DHCP, WiFi
As soon as I switch on the Photosmart printer, the ReadyNAS Duo becomes unreachable: I can't access the shares, I can't access the web interface to the Readynas. Only solution is switching of the printer and rebooting the ReadyNas. Very annoying. Looks like the exact same problem you two are describing.
Dit anyone ever find a solution to this problem? - Are you certain that you don't have an IP address conflict?

No there isn't any IP conflict. Thanks for the tip.
